Trust Wallet Warns 36K Users Over Compromised Browser Wallets

Trust Wallet has issued a warning that about 36,000 users are still using compromised wallets after a security issue affected its Browser Extension version 2.68. The company said this impacts roughly 0.016% of its users.

The issue happened between December 24 and December 26, 2025. Trust Wallet sent messages to these users through a banner on the Browser Extension, and through a push message or a pop-up for users who also have the mobile app.

Steps to stay safe

Trust Wallet outlined the steps clearly for users to follow. First, they must update their Browser Extension to version 2.69 or later. They added, “If you have been notified, please abandon the old compromised wallet, create a new wallet and move your funds immediately to ensure your assets remain safe.”

Users should then create a new wallet either on the browser extension or mobile app. Finally, they need to transfer all funds from the old wallet to the new one. Trust Wallet also reminded users to back up their secret phrase, sometimes called a recovery phrase, to improve wallet security.

Who is affected, and how much is impacted

Trust Wallet said users who did not receive a notification are not affected. The affected wallets include only those who opened and logged into the Browser Extension v2.68 during the period between December 24 and December 26. Mobile app users or anyone using other extension versions are not impacted.

Preliminary estimate shows that about $7 million may have been affected, but the investigation is still ongoing. Trust Wallet has shared pictures and guides showing how to update the extension, create a new wallet, and move funds safely.

Users who think they lost money are asked to contact Trust Wallet support using a special form. The company said each case will be reviewed carefully, and they may ask for more information to confirm ownership before helping recover any lost funds. Users are also asked to act quickly if they see a notification.
